Summary:
We show that the Porous Medium Equation and the Fast Diffusion Equation, $\dot u-\Delta u^m=f$, with $m\in (0,\infty )$, can be modeled as a gradient system in the Hilbert space $H^{-1}(\Omega )$, and we obtain existence and uniqueness of solutions in this framework. We deal with bounded and certain unbounded open sets $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb R^n$ and do not require any boundary regularity. Moreover, the approach is used to discuss the asymptotic behaviour and order preservation of solutions.
